eminent of Canada to see that any ar
rangement for the admission OF United

The Indian Supply Lettings.

Washington Special: Commissions At.
kins, who has been in New York for two
weeks opening bids for Indian supplies, r.
turned to-day. He states prices are
higher this year than last, and that d sub.
stantial advance has taken place in all
supplies. even since the lettings in st. Louis,
showing a decided improvement in business
circles all over the country. The unsettled
question OF transportation Of supplies,
which was interfered with by the Inter
State law, was satisfactorily settled and
lettings rna. efor pretty fair prices, although
at an average advance Of ~ per cent. over
last years prices. The last ,~ettings were
entirely upon Missouri river points, upon
which routes the agents had made ad.
vances ranging from 100 to 0 per cent.
This caused the commissioner to readver-
tise. and having Satisfied the agents that
they might safely discriminate in favor Of
the government in rates, the proposals
were literally lowered. The river trans.
portation was offered at very reasonable
rates, although there was a disposition to
gather in a little profit at the expense Of
the railroads under the pressure OF the In
ter-State law. As at St. Louis, the com.
missioner made it a point to accept bids
where they were not over II per cent
higher than last year, on the principle that
he might 60 farther and fare worse.

Assaulted by Monkeys.

1t must have been a comical sight, a
lot of men chased by pack of mon
keys, but this is told by Capt. Lawson in
his 'Wanderings in New Guinea"
According to his account, the mon
keys were the aggressors, but one
would like to hear their side of the
question before passing Judgment:
'While marching under some wallah
trees we were maliciously attacked by a
large troop of monkeys, who pelted US
with the wallah nuts and uttered wild
screams of delight when they observed
that their sudden assault had been
successful, A regular volley of the
hard missiles fell about our heads and
shoulders with such force that, being
unexpected, we were smitten with dis
may and scrambled out of the way in
a very undignified manner.
Upon recovering myself 1 laughed
heartily at the ridiculous figure we had
cut, on which one old fellow who
seemed to be the leader of the troop
ran out on branch that hung over
my head, and deliberately spat at me
with all the gravity of human being,
a trick that had never known a mon
key to perform before.
stepping back few PAGES to get
a better aim at him raised my rifle
and fired. He appeared to be killed
instantly, but sat immovable for
several seconds before his body lost its
balance and fell.
1.-The hubbub that then set in among
his companions was fearful. They
howled at the top of their voices and
seemed to become half mad with rage.
They again began to pelt us with the
nuts, and though we shot several of
their number they refused to desist,
but followed us on our march, leaping
from tree to tree with great agility.
Sat last we were glad to break into
a run in order to escape their per-
secutions, but this move was unsuc-
cessful, for the monkeys were quite as
nimble as we were. So we were com
PEELED to submit to the nuisance for
fully three hours during which time
received so many blows upon the
head, back, and shoulders, that be-
came quite sore, and my light helmet
was battered into highly disreputa-
BILE shape.
sat length, much to our gratifica-
ton, our foes tired themselves out ard
gave up the pursuit. But while we re-
NAMED in sight they continued to shake
their fists with many grimaces most
expressive of defiance and desire for
revenge. Youths Companion.

A New Orator.

The apparel oft proclaims the
man." said Polonius. He was Judi
cious in not substituting always for
..oft." 1t has been found that :ie
finest bird is not always the one that
wears the finest feathers.
Years ago the staid citizens of Wash
ington were surprised one morning at
the appearance of a strange figure in
their streets. He was dressed in
pair of old corduroys ripped at the
ankle for convenience IN rolling up, a
drab oyercoat, much the worse for
wear, with several capes, worn out
united shoes, and shocking hat
Solemnly he walked the streets, six
feet in height. leading little black,
rough-haired mare, her tail matted
with turs. A pair of small saddle
bags hung over the saddle, in which
were stuffed papers and crackers and
cheese. Stopping at all obscure hotel,
he put up his mare and relieved him.
self of his ''top coat" Into one of the
pockets of short gray insey round
about he stuffed his lunch and into the
other bundle of law papers, tied
with hemp string. Inquiring the
way to the supreme court, he walked
forth, the wonder of the negroes and
idle bows Arrived at the courtroom,
he sauntered within the bar, took a
seat, and begun munching his bread
and cheese. The lawyers and specta-
tors smiled at the awkward country
man on his first visit to the capital.
Soon case was called which seemed
to interest the countryman. 1t in
81, al lo,- g
land lying in the "Green river coun-
try" of Kentucky.
A Mr.. Taylor of Virginia, a leading
lawyer, began his argument by state
ment of facts. All at once the coun-
tryman stopped munching, and tap
ping the counsel on the back. cor
rectied one of his "facts." The law
yer paused, frowned at the busybody,
and went on. The countryman re-
sumed eating and in a few moments
again corrected the council. II beg
the court to protect me from the i'm
pertinence of that person" said Tay-
Tor, showing much irritation. Tay-
lor finished his powerful argument,
and, then, to the amazement of the
spectators, the bar, and the judges,
the stranger rose to reply. His man
her was wholly changed. He stood as
if he had practiced in that court all
his professional life. His argument
was SO clear and forcible, and his re-
ply to the opposing council SO mas
terly that the bar and court looked as
though they doubted their ears and
eyes. Mr.. Taylor appeared paralyzed.
The perspiration rolled from his fore
head and face in great drops. The
rustic he had sneered at seemed a
legal giant. Everyone asked: ''Who
is hep"
1t was Joe Daviess, one of the best
lawyers and most eloquent orators of
Kentucky, as eccentric as he was gift
ed. Scarcely one present knew him
personally, but all had heard of his
brilliant reputation.
